Takadimi at Stones of The Yarra Valley

After the successful launch of their debut album New Common Sense in 2011 and club and festival shows throughout 2012, Takadimi return to the live stage in 2013 with a string of dates taking them around Australia.

Joining forces when they met in Sydney at university, in 2007, emerging into the musical cosmos with their debut performance at the National Folk Festival, Canberra (’09), they created an immediate impression. 

With a world of styles at their disposal, inspired by the possibilities of a well integrated, multi-cultural society in Australia today, this world/comtemporary instrumental quintet exerts a genuine obsession for the possibilities within genres and their indefinite boundaries. 

Some of their influences include Shakti, The Esbjorn Svensson Trio, James Muller, John Butler, Jan Garbarek, Tomasz Stanko and Bela Flek.

The group bring you into their worlds through inventive improvisations and evocative soundscapes. In 2011 they launched their debut album New Common Sense which received some great reviews and gained widespread recognition across the ABC and community radio. They also received a 3 and a half star review from national newspaper, The Australian. Since the album release they have played at a wide variety of venues and festivals throughout NSW including a live to air for Eastside Radio at Venue 505, the Gaelic Club and the Occupy Sydney Anniversary in Martin Place.

'Jazz, folk, Irish, gypsy, Latin and Afro vibes are all fused delicately but precisely to create an eclectic mix that somehow blend magnificently into a cohesive new sound'. East Side Radio, 89.7FM.
